ਅਬ ਮੋਰੈ ਮਨਿ ਭਇਆ ਅਨੰਦ ॥
ab morai man bha-i-aa anand.
Now, my mind is filled with bliss;
ਭਉ ਚੂਕਾ ਟੂਟੇ ਸਭਿ ਫੰਦ ॥
bha-o chookaa tootay sabh fand.
my fear is gone, and the noose is cut away.
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਜਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪਾਇਆ ॥
kaho naanak jaa satgur paa-i-aa.
Says Nanak, when I met the True Guru,
ਘਰੁ ਸਗਲਾ ਮੈ ਸੁਖੀ ਬਸਾਇਆ ॥੪॥੩੬॥੮੭॥
ghar saglaa mai sukhee basaa-i-aa. ||4||36||87||
I came to dwell within my home in absolute peace. ||4||36||87||
Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Now my mind is filled with bliss; my fear is gone, and the noose is cut.
Says Nanak: when I met the true Guru, I came to dwell in my own home, in perfect peace.
See through the enticer, and the noose is cut — you come home to yourself in peace.
The close: "my mind is filled with bliss; my fear is gone, and the noose is cut away." Free of Maya and her courtiers, the soul comes "to dwell within my home" — the interior home — "in absolute peace." Seeing through the enticer is what lets the soul finally come home.
A Question to Sit With
